This glamorous chanteuse from Canada has a soft willowy voice with a slight edge, almost like Diana Krall in a higher register. And that’s a good thing. The arrangements here are straight from the jazz singer playbook. She has great pitch control and simply sings beautifully. However, Ms. Barlow clearly did not read my previous reviews of Christmas albums or she wouldn’t have attempted YET ANOTHER remake of Ray Charles-Betty Carter classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Her duet partner is Marc Jordan and, well, Ray Charles he isn’t. I know, I know, who is? Still, Barlow is a fine singer and likely has a great future as an interpreter of the Great American Songbook and hopefully some more modern material as well. If you’re looking for holiday music sung in a sultry and romantic jazz style, add this one to your collection. --- jazztimes.com
